Thompson Central Park New York welcomes hotel guests to newly
designed interiors, including a redesigned lobby, public spaces and
587 sophisticated, contemporary guestrooms and suites including the
174-room highly anticipated Upper Stories, a collection of
luxurious accommodations offering expansive views, high-end
amenities and exclusive offerings and programming, including access
to the private Upper Stories Lounge. Today’s opening also includes
the return of beloved culinary hotspot, Burger Joint, and the
introduction of new cocktail bar, Standing Room Only. The hotel’s
grand opening will culminate in Spring 2022, with the arrival of
more soon-to-be announced dining destinations, intimate event space
and the opening of Upper Stories.
Thompson Central Park New York features stunning public spaces
designed by architect Thomas Juul-Hansen and guestrooms designed by
Stonehill Taylor. The property is poised to redefine the New York
City experience for sophisticated, contemporary travelers.
Guestroom artwork and programming will be music-centric as a nod to
the hotel’s history as a home to many musicians and actors who
played at New York City top music venues.
“We’re honored to introduce the world to Thompson Central Park
New York and welcome travelers to a stunning new hotel in the heart
of New York City,” said Matt Slippoy, general manager, Thompson
Central Park New York. “Together with our partners across design,
culinary, retail and more, we’re thrilled to provide New Yorkers
and travelers with an unparalleled hospitality experience steps
from Central Park and iconic cultural institutions, performing arts
theaters, Broadway and more of what makes New York City a
world-class destination.”
Contemporary Design with Expansive City Views
In designing the hotel’s public areas, Thomas Juul-Hansen sought
to create a sophisticated, inviting and modern introduction to
Thompson Central Park New York, leveraging the iconic history of
this landmark building. Guests are greeted in the lobby by massive
wood clad portals leading to an organic shaped wood and leather
reception desk, with intimate seating just beyond. The impressive
central atrium features 36’ high ceilings with a massive central
skylight and curated space for food and drinks below. Debuting in
Spring 2022, a vaulted bar space connecting the atrium to both 56th
and 57th streets will be lined with wood finishes and capped by a
massive, suspended canopy of foliage. Each space throughout the
hotel is highlighted by bespoke lighting along with a curated
collection of artworks inspired by the rich heritage of the storied
neighborhood.
“When walking into Thompson Central Park New York, hotel guests
are greeted with a sensory experience,” said Thomas Juul-Hansen.
“From the building’s classic exterior to the luxurious, newly
designed modern lobby space and atrium, we have created a bespoke
atmosphere for travelers to connect with the iconic style and
dazzling glamour of Manhattan.”
Thompson Central Park New York partnered with Stonehill Taylor
to design the hotel’s 587 guest rooms and suites, as well as guest
corridors. The renowned architecture and design firm incorporated
design elements to accommodate work and play, boasting elevated
finishes and unexpected details. Linear and curving forms live side
by side throughout the storage and sleeping areas, as well as the
social and workspaces. Crisp white duvets top the navy-blue leather
beds, and headboards nestle against ribbed wall detailing. A
geometric etagere supports sculptural lighting and
texture-providing bric-a-brac while adding structural interest to
the space. Double-bay rooms feature a swivel TV, allowing guests to
comfortably rotate entertainment to face sleeping and living areas.
While walls and floors are finished in neutral earth tones, jewel
tones pop throughout the furnishings.
Along the corridors, Stonehill Taylor incorporated balance
between opposites to drive the design – from geometric designs in
the carpet juxtaposed against light and dark elements, to arched
mirrors along the elevator lobbies to reflect light and add depth.
In Spring 2022, Thompson Central Park New York will debut The Upper
Stories, a collection of 174 high-floor guestrooms with unrivaled
views of Central Park, impeccable amenities and unparalleled guest
experiences.
“With sophisticated travelers in mind, Thompson Central Park New
York’s well-appointed accommodations feature classical elements
utilized in sculptural, modern ways,” said Paul Taylor, partner,
Stonehill Taylor. “From the functionality of the space to the jewel
and earth tones, guests will find unexpected yet balanced choices,
contributing to a remarkable hotel stay experience.”
Dazzling Culinary Offerings
Burger Joint, a hidden gem and “speakeasy” space, returns to
offer up one of New York’s top-rated burgers and fries. The
property is also unveiling SRO (Standing Room Only), an intimate
lobby bar that will serve hotel guests and visitors
carefully-crafted cocktails, rare and organic wines and mocktails
in a spirited setting, creating the perfect spot to meet and
mingle.
Beginning November 1, the delectably curated in-room dining menu
provides hotel guests with a mix of healthy and indulgent culinary
options from 6:00 AM to 10:30 PM. In Spring 2022, the property will
introduce an array of signature restaurants, further elevating the
property as a dining destination in Midtown Manhattan.
Thompson Central Park New York is part of Thompson Hotels
brand’s New York City footprint, joining the collection’s
celebrated properties in Lower Manhattan, The Beekman and Gild
Hall. One of five Thompson Hotels properties expected to open
across the U.S. this year, Thompson Central Park New York’s opening
further amplifies the brand’s promise to provide guests with the
ultimate “in-the-know” experience at the sophisticated edge of
travel.

introductory rate of $420 per night. For more information on the
